'Supermoon' Saturday: Will biggest, brightest full moon of the year make us crazy?

NEW YORK — The biggest and brightest full moon of the year arrives Saturday night as our celestial neighbour passes closer to Earth than usual.
But don't expect any "must-have-been-a-full-moon" spike in crime or crazy behaviour. That's just folklore.
Saturday's event is a "supermoon," the closest and therefore the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. At 11:34 p.m., the moon will be about 357,000 kilometres from Earth. That's about 25,000 kilometres closer than average.
That proximity will make the moon appear about 14 per cent bigger than it would if the moon were at its farthest distance, said Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory. The difference in appearance is so small that "you'd be very hard-pressed to detect that with the unaided eye," he said.
The moon's distance from Earth varies because it follows an elliptical orbit rather than a circular one.
Like any full moon, the supermoon will look bigger when it's on or near the horizon rather than higher in the sky, thanks to an optical illusion, Chester noted. The full moon appears on the horizon at sunset. On the East coast, for example, that will be a bit before 8 p.m. Saturday.
The supermoon will bring unusually high tides because of its closeness and its alignment with the sun and Earth, but the effect will be modest, Chester said.
The last supermoon, on March 19, 2011, was about 390 kilometres closer than this year's will be. Next year's will be a bit farther away than this year's.
But no matter how far away a full moon is, it's not going to make people kill themselves or others, commit other crimes, get admitted to a psychiatric hospital or do anything else that popular belief suggests, a psychologist says.
Studies that have tried to document such connections have found "pretty much a big mound of nothing, as far as I can tell," said Scott Lilienfeld of Emory University.
Lilienfeld, an author of "50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology," said the notion of full moons causing bizarre behaviour ranks among the top 10 myths because "it's so widely held and it's held with such conviction."
Why do people cling to the idea?
Lilienfeld said a key reason could be the way people pay attention to things. If something unusual happens to occur during a full moon, people who believe the myth take note and remember, even telling other people because it confirms their ideas. But when another full moon appears and nothing out of the ordinary occurs, "they're not very likely to remember" or point it out to others.
So in the end, he said, all they remember are the coincidences.

Safety experts recommend outlet covers to keep children from sticking fingers or other items into the outlets. / CINDY HOSEA/Staff
New parent checklist: Have you prepared your home in these ways?
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Womens Health offers the following checklist for new parents eager to make their homes safe for newborns.
Check the safety of your babys crib or sleeping area. Check for recalls and get information on buying a safe crib and mattress at the U.S. Consumer Product Information Safety Commission website, www.cpsc.gov.
Remove pillows, blankets and stuffed animals from your childs crib.
Test the smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in your home at least once every six months.
Place emergency phone numbers, including poison control and your childs doctor, near each phone.
Make certain handrails are installed and properly secured in stairways. Always hold handrails when using the stairs, especially when holding your new baby.
Make certain your home or apartment number is easy to see for fire and rescue personnel in case of emergency.
Expectant parents know they can have up to nine months to prepare for the addition of a little one, but many first-time parents are clueless about where to begin organizing their homes and themselves for a new baby.
Thats why expectant parents should take advantage of parenting classes, according to Tara Tucker, a registered nurse at The Birthing Center at Mary Black Health System in Spartanburg.
Tucker, who is an instructor for parenting classes at The Birthing Center at Mary Black Health System, said a variety of topics are covered to help make new and expectant parents aware of the needs of their newborns. Topics include breast-feeding, what to expect in the birthing process, and ways to make your home safe for a baby.
Parenting classes are offered through all of the local health-care systems, including Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, Greenville Health System, Baptist Easley and Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System.
Penny Shaw of Safe Kids Spartanburg said that organization also works to educate new parents on the care newborns and infants require as well as the dangers that can await babies in their homes.
Unintentional injuries are the No. 1 killer of children ages zero to 17, Shaw said. It is very important to prepare your home for the new arrival in order to prevent unintentional injuries.
Shaw said simple things, such as making sure your home has a working smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector, are a good start.
Tucker agreed, adding that a safe sleeping environment is one of the most crucial preparations for new parents.
The American Academy of Pediatrics encourages safe sleep to help keep infants from dying from SIDS, Tucker said. There are a few things theyve added to educate parents about keeping their babies sleep environment safe.
SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, is the sudden death of an infant less than 1 year old that cannot be explained after investigation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Each year in the United States, more than 4,500 infants die suddenly of no obvious cause.
Safe sleeping
The first thing the AAP encourages is to use a firm sleep surface, like a mattress thats been safety approved, Tucker said.
Mattresses should only be covered by a fitted sheet.
There should be nothing else in the crib, Tucker said. No pillows, blankets, crib bumpers or anything else should be in the crib or sleeping area. No wedges or sleep positioning devices or things like that.
Toys and loose bedding should also be avoided.
Newborns should be dressed in light clothing for sleep, such as a one-piece sleeper. Blankets should not be used.
The AAP does say its OK to swaddle, but it should be below the shoulders on the baby, Tucker said.
The most important thing new parents should know, Tucker said, is not to let infants sleep in an adult bed, on a couch or a chair alone or with anyone else.
The biggest risk is for suffocation, Tucker said. An adult can roll over on a baby or a baby can get nestled between a mattress and a wall. A baby can fall down underneath the bumper pads if you have them in a crib. Then, of course, blankets and toys and other items can cause babies to get wedged against them and smother.
Shaw said infants do not have the strength or reflex capability to turn away from smothering objects.
In addition, parents should be aware that the positioning of a babys body can contribute to SIDS.
Always put the baby on his or her back for sleep or naps, Tucker said. Its real important parents do that all the time. If a sitter sits with the baby, make sure that person knows not to let the baby sleep on its belly. That puts them at more risk, especially if they are used to sleeping on their backs and someone puts them on their bellies instead.
Water heaters and pools
Shaw said parents should set their water heaters to a maximum of 120 degrees to reduce dangers during baths.
Test the bathwater with your wrist or elbow before putting your child in it, she said.
As babies grow, theyll begin crawling and walking, and parents can get a head start on safety by equipping swimming pools and hot tubs with fencing or purchasing gates to enclose them from wandering children.
A child can drown in a matter of seconds, Shaw said. Keep toilet lids closed and locked with special locks. Did you know that children can drown in as little as an inch of water and in just a few minutes? Water can be deadly for young children.
Furniture straps
Shaw said parents should make certain the high chairs, swings, changing tables and strollers they purchase come with buckled harnesses so that infants can be strapped into them for safety from falling.
Likewise, placing furniture and cribs away from windows can prevent falling once babies grow and begin climbing.
You can now purchase furniture straps that can bolt furniture to walls along with televisions to prevent fall hazards, she said, adding that injuries and deaths from televisions falling on children have increased in recent years.
Baby gates should be available as babies grow and begin crawling to keep them from stairs and other places that could cause harm, such as bathrooms, Shaw said.
Childrens safety locks can also be purchased for cabinets and drawers to keep little hands from getting into dangerous items, such as utensils, medicine and cleaning supplies.
Outlet covers
All unused outlets should have covers, but parents need to be cautious of the covers they buy.
Make sure these covers have been guaranteed not to be a choking hazard if a child happens to pull them from the wall, Shaw said.
Personal safety
Tucker said she also teaches new parents tips on how to prevent infant abduction, which isnt a serious problem locally but has gained national attention in recent years.
Most abductions dont happen in a hospital, she said. They happen in the home.
She advises new parents not to publish birth announcements online or in a newspaper, and be wary of posting pictures to social media or a website.
If you want to do it, post them in a private setting and invite only close friends and family to see the pictures, she said.
If representatives from an agency are visiting, parents should always verify their identification before allowing them entry into their homes, Tucker said.
And, of course, if you have to take your baby out in public, take a friend or someone you trust with you to help keep an eye on the baby, she said. When it comes to newborn safety, you cant ever be too careful.

Nice setting, nice rooms and nice pool area. Service needs some fine tuning. Our room was not ready when we arrived (had to wait until 340pm). English not well spoken by staff. Beds quite hard. Bathroom was nice.
Review collected in partnership with Accorhotels.com
On arrival, the lobby was busy and HOT!We had 2 connecting rooms and shared bathroom. Rooms were nice.As you open your front door it leads directly into the smelly toilet. Constant funky aromas arose from the toilet drain. Not nice.Pool was lovely warm and spacious. Don't order cocktails though... You'll need a bank loan. 3 cocktails cost $77SGD++. Do order the club sandwich- You can share between 2.Grounds are lovely and good access to Palawan beach.Buffet breakfasts were good. Needs 2 live-station cooks though. The poor chefs were being slammed every morning with hoards of demanding guests.Food at The Pavilion was atrocious. The waiting staff were slow and not trained. Crab cakes were delivered cold in the middle (obviously pre-frozen). Pizzas also, looked as though they were frozen and thrown in the oven.This hotel seemed very tired and desperately in need of some money to bring it up to the 5 star standard which we expected.Concierge staff need training- It seems their memories are relied upon for processing guest requests... Not good practice. Our 2 requests for transport were forgotten and we were left waiting (TWICE)! Although, Shakur gave us a great bar/restaurant recommendation.Would I stay here again- Maybe, if they upgraded pretty much everything and hired new chefs and overhauled the menus. and don't increase their prices.
The design of the room is really stylish especially the bathroom.Ask for a ground floor room to be able to see the free roaming peacocks while enjoying a cup of coffee in the comfort of your room.Location is near tanjong beach( just down a flight of stairs).Only down side is the relatively high price and also some parts of the hotel( like the lift) is old and need some renovation.However, the good location on sentosa island plus the stylish rooms and relax and tranquil surroundings make my stay an enjoyable one.Recommended.
We stayed here for 3 nights prior to leaving for Europe. The grounds and the rooms were beautiful. We also loved having the Australia Network to watch the footy. The service was patchy though. Staff were friendly but often slow to respond to requests and the concierge staff never gave us maps to help show where we needed to go or wrote down the names of places the suggested
It was a nice and quiet stay, probably it was weekdays. There wasn't much people and check in was fast. The room is big but the furnishing is quite old. Looks the same as many years back when i last stayed in this resort. It will be good if there is some brochures for Sentosa or hotel information/directory provided in the room, all we have is the in room dining menu. The air con in the room was noisy and the tv wasn't working. The technician came over very quickly to fix it eventhough it was already 10pm but the person who answered the call earlier was quite sarcastic asking if we know how to use the remote controls. I think the resort should do something about their tv system in the room, since it's confusing for guests to use their 2 remote controls for tv and i saw past reviews many people feedback about the tv in the room.The hair dryer in the toilet was not working too. But I like the bath toiletries provided, it's has nicest scent among all the hotels that i had stayed before. I would suggest not to put the bar soap inside the shower area. Not everyone use that and the shower water spoil the soap wrapper, so it's a waste to throw away even when not used. Furthermore the cleaner didn't replace the soap that is why i can tell that it's left from the previous occupant. The resort provides shuttle service to Vivocity which is very convenient as we can get out of Sentosa for meals. To get to the beach is a walk of around 100 steps down the stairs, walking back up to the resort can be quite tiring.The buffet breakfast in the resort quite standard and I feel it's not worth to pay $35++ per pax. Luckily we have the accor card which entitled us to 50% discount, else I would rather take the shuttle bus out to Vivocity to have breakfast.
We stayed at the resort in July, the staff were lovely and the grounds and pool beautiful. The only negative and it was a large one for us, was the pricing of the food and drinks. We paid $37 SD for a bourban with soda and a rum and coke. Unneccesary pricing as far as we could see, we knew Singapore would be expensive but this and the restaurant pricing seemed extreme. We had planned on total relaxation and not leaving the resort but ended up emptying the mini bar and filling it with food and drinks bought from the shopping centre. Having said that as mentioned above, the staff were lovely. Rooms were a good size, shuttle service very handy. So we would recommend the resort, but either save up to enjoy the food and drinks or be prepared to stock the bar fridge.
So convenient, short taxi ride from airport, lovely staff, great relaxing resort with big pool and massage/ spa.Have breakfast at golf club 2 mn walk down the road.Maybe a little too many noisy Australians on our last visit!

Movie star Gray Evans (Giovanni Ribisi) is at the top of his game: a seemingly endless supply of money, celebrity friends (Vince Vaughn), parties, a beautiful wife (Franka Potente) and his name and image, known all around the world.
But with fame and fortune comes attention, and not always the kind that is wanted. Convinced that the chance encounters that he has been having with his fans are not really coincidental, he looks to his bodyguard (Jared Harris) and a video store clerk (Joshua Jackson) for help despite the protests of those around him. Is he truly paranoid, as they suggest? Or are they motivated by jealousy and spite? Has he found himself in the crosshairs of an obsessed fan or is it someone much closer to him? Will one of the top movie stars in the world be able to survive, when he doesnt even know who - or what- he is up against?
Filmed like an art-house project, I Love Your Work offers thoughtful insight to fame from both the celebrity's and the fan's points of view. When you're a celebrity, every fan is a potential stalker. Or at least that's how movie star Gray Evans (Giovanni Ribisi) sees it. An A-list actor married to a sex symbol, Gray wants to see things clearly in black and white. But his world is a cloudy haze of gray. Are his flashbacks of a comely girlfriend (Christina Ricci) hallucinations or memories of a simpler, happier time? Are his encounters with a stoic fan (Jason Lee) the prelude to his demise, or the manifestation of his paranoia? Director Adam Goldberg doesn't make this clear, but that's also clearly his intent. The drama offers a charismatic performance by Franka Potente (Run Lola Run, The Bourne Identity) as Gray's frustrated wife. But Ribisi--at his twitchiest--is an unconvincing movie star, appearing more like a run-down wannabe than a full-fledged insider. I Love Your Work? Not so much. --Jae-Ha KimSee all Editorial Reviews

Did you wanna Pay $60 for Poop in a Box with a nice package thats says Xbox 360?
This is my Opinion a the makings of a good (mediocre) game.
The Environment has to be appealing and worth seeing again.
Gameplay must be solid or a least try to be.
Good Mobility and Control.
Good Story or goals to complete the game.
A Interesting Variety in options, stages, and material (Cars).
And if its a sequel in the Franchise I would bring some familiar aspects to the game.
Does anyone remember Ridge Racer 5? Because I do, I got it shorty after launch of the PS2 and it sucked as bad as this sequel too. I really remember Ridge Racer 4 and that version was actually good and fun. Namco knows they did a crappy job with RR5 because it took them 5 years to move on and forget about it. They Decided to let their bowels move just one more time to test the waters. Microsoft was so desperate for Japanese developers to have titles for the japan launch they really didn't care what it was they just wanted product out on the shelves.
Remember the Launch of the PSP, Ridge Racer was the first off the Shelf. But wait its just called Ridge Racer, maybe they are embarrassed by the previous releases. Well I hope Namco doesn't decide to crap on the PS3 as well cause I would hate to right another crappy review about crap.
I'm sorry forks about the Language and about My sad review but it's just my opinion.
If you are bored, really bored and thinking of checking this one out, Forget it!
You wouldn't give some one money to crap on your 360, so don't waste your time.
I've talked badly about a game before but this one takes the toll.
Sorry Folks
I gotta go take a bath I feel dirty.

It's Not What It Looks Like
by Slacker And Steve
posted Aug 1 2013 5:37PM
Some guy was tweeting trash about Slacker and Steve so Lil D decided to Google him and see who he was. Sure enough he found him and it turns out he is a divorce attorney. The next day Lil D got a text from his wife asking if there was something they needed to talk about after she opened their iPad to find a page full of information on a divorce attorney…oops!
Slacker has been in the situation where he's been in a store and no joke, he needed to buy baby oil, a tarp, shovel, duct tape, etc. and as he was checking out he realized how bad it looked and had to say look, "it's not what it looks like."
What was your "it's not what it looks like" moment?
With Love,

Maryland may be one of the wealthiest states, but hunger runs deep. It affects old and young alike, but it can be solved by connecting all who are eligible to the federal nutrition programs. We compile and analyze the latest data to show the need and the solution. Our rich library of resources will help your education, advocacy, and outreach efforts as we work together to end hunger and promote well-being.
Reframing Hunger - The Fighting Hunger in Maryland Conference
Fighting Hunger in Maryland: Reframing Hunger - October 27 - is an important forum that will bring together leaders from state and local agencies, nonprofits, schools, and advocates to inform, engage, and inspire action to promote equity in food access and nutrition in Maryland. Register today (see left navigation) to take advantage of expert presentations, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities.
We are actively engaged in connecting eligible Marylanders with federal nutrition program benefits and available state and local resources. Whether it's a county fair, senior expo, back-to-school night, or conference, our staff will come to you with information on applying for benefits from programs like food stamps and school meals and accessing healthy, affordable food.
By engaging partners across the state, we are removing barriers to nutrition programs, increasing outreach, and expanding access to affordable and healthy food – all steps that will get us closer to our mutual goal of ending hunger. Maryland Hunger Solutions collaborates with public and private partners through various coalitions, partnerships, and state and local food policy workgroups.

New Report Finds that Participation in Summer Meals in Maryland Increased in 2014
Maryland made significant strides in its efforts to reach more low-income children with summer meals in 2014, according to Hunger Doesn't Take A Vacation, a report released annually by the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC). 59.705 low-income children were served summer meals on an average day in July 2013, an increase of 17.3 percent from last year. Summer meals reached 21.6 students for every 100 low-income children who got regular school year school meals in the 2013-2014 school year, outpacing that national rate of 16.2:100. More...

The remaining 20 participants assigned to the control group attended two 60-minute class sessions per week for 12 weeks. Each control session included 40 minutes of instruction covering OA as a disease, diet and nutrition, therapies to treat OA, or physical and mental health education. The final 20 minutes consisted of stretching exercises involving the upper body, trunk, and lower body, with each stretch being held for 10-15 seconds.
At the end of the 12-week period, patients practicing Tai Chi exhibited a significant decrease in knee pain compared with those in the control group. Using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain scale, researchers noted a 118.80 reduction in pain from baseline between the Tai Chi and control group. Researchers also observed improved physical function, self-efficacy, depression, and health status for knee OA in subjects in the Tai Chi group. "Our observations emphasize a need to further evaluate the biologic mechanisms and approaches of Tai Chi to extend its benefits to a broader population," concluded Dr. Wang.

This series has examined hydraulic fracturing or, as it is more commonly known, fracking, and some of the types of harm it is doing to the environment. We didn't even touch on the threat of induced seismicity (increased earthquake activity) that seismologists have associated with the business of fracking; that will have to be a topic for another..

Ferulate 5-hydroxylase (F5H) is a cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase that catalyses the hydroxylation of ferulic acid, coniferaldehyde and coniferyl alcohol in the pathways leading to sinapic acid and syringyl lignin biosynthesis. Earlier studies in Arabidopsis have demonstrated that F5H over-expression increases lignin syringyl monomer content and abolishes the tissue-specificity of its deposition. To determine whether this enzyme has a similar regulatory role in plants that undergo secondary growth, we over-expressed the F5H gene in tobacco and poplar. In tobacco, over-expression of F5H under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter increased lignin syringyl monomer content in petioles, but had no detectable effect on lignification in stems. By contrast, when the cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H) promoter was used to drive F5H expression, there was a significant increase in stem lignin syringyl monomer content. Yields of thioglycolic acid and Klason lignin in C4H–F5H lines were lower than in the wild-type, suggesting that F5H over-expression leads to a reduced deposition or an altered extractability of lignin in the transgenic plants. Histochemical analysis suggested that the novel lignin in C4H–F5H transgenic lines was altered in its content of hydroxycinnamyl aldehydes. Transgenic poplar trees carrying the C4H–F5H transgene also displayed enhanced lignin syringyl monomer content. Taken together, these data show that hydroxylation of guaiacyl-substituted lignin precursors controls lignin monomer composition in woody plants, and that F5H over-expression is a viable metabolic engineering strategy for modifying lignin biosynthesis in forest species.

We got on the road as early as possible, but we still had a solid 5 hours of driving plus stops. Our stops became longer- I think we were all tired of being in the car at this point.

Welcome to the Noah & Saskia guide at TV.com. Saskia doesn't get it. All she did was go into a chat room seeking revenge on a guy who stole her music. Yet what she ended up with was the most important relationship in her life, with the most amazing person. His name is Max Hammer, and after their first big meeting on-line, Saskia feels like she's known him her whole life. He seems to know everything that's going on in her head, in her music, and better yet, in her soul. He seems to have all the "S's" - strong, smart, sensitive and sensible. And best of all, he sees those same qualities in her. Yep, Saskia's relationship with Max is perfect - or it would be, if he wasn't in the UK and she wasn't in Australia, and if he didn't think she was somebody completely different. You see, Saskia has created an alter ego that she uses on-line. Her name is Indy and she's everything Saskia isn't - self-assured, carefree and sexy. And while she initially uses Indy as a mask, Saskia starts to realise that it's an easy way to explore the parts of herself that are blooming way down deep, the parts of herself she can't express any other way. Not yet, at least. And Saskia knows that if Max found out who she really is - a rather prickly, defensive, shabby looking teenager - the most fantastic friendship of her life would be all over in an instant. That is, if Max was who he claimed to be, which of course he's not. In reality, Max is a fourteen year old dweeb named Noah, and he has no illusions. He knows that if Indy ever learned the truth, she would run screaming. They're partners in Noah's on-line comic, and they're a great team creatively - he takes care of the images, she takes care of the music. Indy is a great listener when Noah has a problem, and she thinks his advice is cool. All he has to do is make sure she never finds out who he really is. But that's okay, Noah's used to living a double life - geeky little brother of the school football hero by day, super-confident cyber marauder by night. "Noah & Saskia" is about a little lie that leads to a bigger truth - that who you say you are is usually who you want to be.moreless

Renee: Do you see what I did? Saskia: Nothing? Renee: Lured! I lured! Boys are easy, Sas, all they need is for it to be their idea. I mean you've gotta look right, and act right, but after that you do nothing. You wait. Saskia: But you didn't lure a boy; you lured Stempel. Renee: Same thing. Saskia: Same species. Renee: I think I've made my point.
(Stempel attempts to access Max Hammer Media, but access is denied) Stempel: Nup. (makes a move to leave, but is promptly stoped by Saskia) Saskia: "Nup" is not acceptable, try again. Stempel: (sigh) I can't get in! Max Hammer is too good. He's a legend in the chatrooms. Renee: Chatrooms, what's that? Stempel: Try WebWeave. It's a chat server where all the heavy-hitters hoast their own rooms. It's a roleplay fantasy-based thing. Renee: Roleplay, what's that? Stempel: Not my taste really; I'm into reality. (Saskia and Stempel look at Renee) Renee: (pause) I'm up on reality! Saskia: Listen Stempel. You've just been sprung having a cyber-affair with a teacher, by someone mean enough to tell the whole school. Take me to WebWeave.
Saskia: This Max Hammer is a dead man; he's a corpse! A memory. I want revenge Renee. Nobody steels my music and gets away with it. Renee: Well he did... Saskia: Yeah, well, I'm gonna track him down and paint my nails with his blood. Renee: You? Do your nails? That's success... Saskia: Whatever! No one steals from me!

I'm using IE 8 on Vista, and everytime I change a javascript file and then start debugging, I have to hit Ctrl+F5 to have it reload my javascript. Is there any way to make it automatically reload javascript when I start debugging, but not lose the performance gains when just browsing the net?
Yeah yeah I know you probably don't like IE, but keep in mind the question isn't "What's the best browser?".

Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi yesterday named a former Border Patrol agent to lead the powerful House intelligence panel, sidestepping two more senior choices and ending an internal party struggle over the post.
Rep. Silvestre Reyes, Texas Democrat who has served a decade in the House, will take over the committee in January as his party prepares to step up scrutiny of the Bush administration on a range of issues, including intelligence gathering.
"When tough questions are required, whether they relate to intelligence shortcomings before the 9/11 attacks or the war in Iraq, or to the quality on intelligence on Iran or North Korea, he does not hesitate to ask them," said Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat, who praised Mr. Reyes' "impeccable national security credentials."
The decision had been a tough test for the speaker-elect because the top two Democrats currently on the panel — Reps. Jane Harman of California and Alcee L. Hastings of Florida — also had been vying for the post.
Mrs. Pelosi was widely expected to skip over Mrs. Harman, since the two reportedly have political differences. That left Mr. Hastings, who was backed by the powerful Congressional Black Caucus but who was tainted by his impeachment and removal as a federal judge in 1989.
This week, Mrs. Pelosi announced she wouldn't choose Mr. Hastings — a wise move some said, especially if Democrats want access to more intelligence information.
"Pelosi has dodged a bullet here," said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst at the Lexington Institute. "The intelligence people I talked to were saying they were going to pull the wagons tight around them if it were Hastings."
Known as "Silver" to his friends, Mr. Reyes will be the first Hispanic chairman of the committee. After serving in Vietnam, he spent nearly 27 years with the Border Patrol, rising to sector chief of El Paso and McAllen, Texas, during his tenure.
"It's a historic moment for the Hispanic community," said Janet Murguia, president of the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic civil rights group.
Mr. Thompson said Mrs. Harman was clearly the most experienced for the post, but Mr. Reyes is "solid" and "people will be inclined to trust [him] because he has been on the other side of the table" as a border agent.
Mr. Reyes said in an interview last month that he will require more information than Republicans did from the administration regarding their most classified programs, and he'll also look at the role of intelligence three years after the invasion of Iraq and the state of traditional spy craft, the Associated Press reported.
"We haven't required or haven't had the administration give us the details, evaluation or plan of how these classic programs are functioning," he said.
Mrs. Pelosi noted yesterday that Mr. Reyes' "appreciation for the dangers inherent in the operation of secret activities in a democracy ensures that he will be a zealous protector of the civil liberties that define us as a nation."
Yesterday, she praised both Mrs. Harman and Mr. Hastings.
Mrs. Harman "served with distinction" in her four years as the top Democrat on the panel and "worked tirelessly under difficult circumstances" to ensure intelligence agencies had needed resources, direction and leadership. Mr. Hastings "has brought foreign affairs expertise, deep patriotism, and dedication to the work of the committee," Mrs. Pelosi said.

Las Vegas Review-Journal publisher Sherman Frederick is turning to Fox News' evidence-free smears to fuel his continued attacks on Sen. Harry Reid.
Yesterday FoxNews.com reported that a former low-level staffer allegedly lied to federal investigators about her marriage -- prior to going to work for Reid's office. In that article, FoxNews.com gave no indication that Reid or anyone in his office had any knowledge of the investigation or the alleged wrongdoing.
Enter the Review-Journal. While pushing the Fox News smear, Frederick adds:
The Reid folks ain't sayin' much other than to suggest it's a GOP trick. Only problem, it happened on Obama's watch and involves several federal agencies.
In fact, Reid's spokesman are saying that Reid and his office did not know about the allegations until being informed by Fox News, at which time Reid's office conducted an investigation and severed its relationship with the staffer, Diana Tejada. The allegations never resulted in criminal charges against Tejada.
Moreover, contrary to Frederick's claim that "it happened on Obama's watch," the marriage in question occurred in 2003, and Tejada reportedly issued the false statements to federal investigators in 2004 and in 2008. According to the FoxNews.com article Frederick links to, Tejada "broke down and confessed that her marriage was a lie" in November 2008 and filed for divorce in December 2008 -- prior to Obama's inauguration.
Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade and FoxNews.com blogger Eve Zibel both attacked President Obama for failing to mention North Korea in his September 23 speech at the United Nations. In fact, during his speech, Obama listed the "North Korean regime" as an example that "[t]yranny is still with us" -- as an article posted on FoxNews.com made clear.
Did you know that twice every month, for several days at a time (unless it's cloudy), Americans are forced to face a painful reminder of 9-11 every time they look at the night sky?
I'm talking, of course, about the moon, which at the beginning and end of each lunar cycle brashly and insensitively appears to be very similar to a crescent, and the crescent is a symbol of Islam, and all Muslims are to blame for 9-11.
Also, I read on the internet somewhere that some people think Allah is the MOON GOD. Coincidence? Probably! But we just can't take that chance. The moon must be stopped.
And before you dismiss me as a lunatic with too little sense to realize that hunting for secret Islamic shapes hidden in everyday objects as evidence of the creeping Islamic takeover of America exposes only my own ignorance and religious bigotry, consider this: other very serious people are doing the same thing!
Fox News has an entire article treating seriously the complaints of critics who see a suspiciously moon-like crescent in the National Park Service's memorial to the heroes of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. Blogger Pam Geller, who is not at all crazy, was bragging the other day that she's been intrepidly following this controversy for four years, smartly pointing out that not only is the memorial a crescent, but it sort of points east if you look at it a certain way -- and we all know what's east of Pennsylvania, right?
No, not New Jersey. Ever hear of a little place called MECCA? Deny it if you like, but compasses don't lie.
And let's not forget all the other secret crescents that have been turned up in the logos for the Nuclear Security Summit and the Missile Defense Agency, and in President Obama's hair and face. Where does it end?
If we, as Americans, are going to beat the Islamo-fascist-socialist-communist-Marxist terrorists, then we can no longer allow Muslims to use the moon to gloat about 9-11.
Today Fox News published an article stating that in his speech today, president Obama will endorse the extension of all the Bush income tax cuts except those that only benefit families making more than $250,000 -- a proposal that will continue all of the tax cuts for 98 percent of small-business owners (and some of the tax cuts for the remaining 2 percent.)
The article also states that Obama will propose "a permanent expansion of research and development tax credits for companies and new tax breaks that would allow businesses to write off 100 percent of their new capital investments through 2011."
These proposals are unambiguously good for the vast majority of small businesses. And yet, Fox comes up with this headline:
Two recently released polls show that an increasing number of Americans believe the falsehood that President Obama is a Muslim. According to the Pew Research Center, 60 percent of people who believe this false claim cite the media as the source of that information -- and, indeed, the right-wing media have incessantly promoted this lie.
On August 16, FoxNews.com absurdly claimed that President Obama's August 13 and 14 comments supporting the constitutional right of Muslims to build an Islamic community center in lower Manhattan near Ground Zero "elevated" the issue "beyond a local dispute and hurled it into the political arena." Yet pinning this national attention on Obama's recent comments - by Fox News of all outlets -- is disingenuous, at best, and reflects a complete lack of acknowledgement of what its own television hosts and contributors have been doing for months.
As a Media Matters for America report showed, Fox News' primetime shows have provided a megaphone to the Islamic center's opponents since at least May of this year - hosting 35 opponents and only 11 supporters as guests. Likewise, in July, Fox & Friends' co-host Alisyn Camerota fear-mongered that the Islamic center "plan[ned] to launch" on "9/11," and Fox News' Glenn Beck repeated that falsehood on the same show earlier this month, even though one of the executive directors leading the project has said this allegation is "absolutely false."
Tack on Fox News correspondents Sarah Palin's tweets to "Peaceful Muslims" to "refudiate" the center, and Newt Gingrich's media blitzkrieg against the building of the center- both dating back to July-- and it can easily be said that Fox News bears responsibility for nationalizing this issue, not Obama.
As Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow have so brilliantly illustrated, Fox News hosts love to brag about how well they do in the ratings when faced with any criticism. It's their own spin on "I know you are but what I am."
Which is why this report on FoxNews.com's comparatively low traffic from Media Week's Mike Shields was so interesting.
Shields writes (emphasis added):
In the cable TV news world, Fox News Channel is a force to be reckoned with. So why does the network continually get its digital clock cleaned—by CNN, of all rivals?
On the tube, Fox's ratings are so dominant that CNN is turning to prostitution-tarred former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer to revive its prime-time lineup. In fact, Fox host Bill O'Reilly recently suggested that rival news nets are all but irrelevant, saying, "If you want to know what's really happening in America, you have to come here." But with millions of Americans turning to the Web for more of their news on a more frequent and immediate basis, can that assessment actually be true?
Foxnews.com averages around 12 million or 13 million monthly unique users, according to Nielsen Online, rarely approaching the 35 million to 40 million uniques that leaders Yahoo News, MSNBC and CNN regularly deliver in aggregate. Some of that disparity can be explained away, as both Yahoo and MSNBC draw heavy traffic from their portal counterparts, and CNN benefits from traffic driven by CNNMoney.com and Sports Illustrated's site.
But even on its own, CNN.com consistently beats Foxnews.com by 7 million or 8 million unique users. Per comScore, the gap is even larger: 43.4 million uniques for CNN.com in June vs. 11.4 million for Foxnews.com. Plus, CNN.com regularly bests Foxnews.com in measures like page views, time spent and video streams—and it has opened an early lead in mobile (14 million uniques vs. 9 million in May for Fox, per Nielsen).
Those numbers have led some to wonder whether Fox's lack of digital success could eventually undermine its influence in American news—particularly as a younger generation gravitates toward getting its headlines from iPhones and iPads rather than TV.
Since Fox News has such disdain for science in general I thought it perfectly acceptable to point to this unscientific online poll from Fox News that shows more than 70 percent of those responding agreeing with last week's U.S. District Court decision that ruled Proposition 8 unconstitutional.
As Steve Clemons -- publisher of The Washington Note blog -- writes:
With pleasure, I direct you to this interesting Fox News online poll in which at the time of this posting 300,499 votes had been cast.
The poll poses the following issue and question:
A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that Prop. 8, California's gay marriage ban is unconstitutional. Do you agree with the judge's decision?
Kudos to Fox for asking this important question straightforwardly.
Although Fox notes that this is not a scientific poll, the response thus far strongly affirms the decision by Judge Vaughn Walker to strike down the California anti-same sex marriage Proposition 8.
Republican California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has now filed a brief with the courts calling for gay marriages to immediately resume.
Here are the current responses to the Fox poll:
Yes -- Prop. 8 violates the Constitution. 71.1% (213,547 votes)
No -- Marriage is an institution between a man and a woman. I don't care what the judge thinks about the Constitution. 24.8% (74,455 votes)
I'm not sure but shouldn't the voters views count for something? 3.6% (10,812 votes)
Other (leave a comment). 0.6% (1,685 votes)
Total Votes: 300,499
I've received a link to this poll from many friends so I seriously doubt that the Fox News audience actually feels this way -- especially when you consider the anti-gay coverage they are exposed to so frequently. However, it's always nice to highlight an online Fox News poll when it contradicts the prevailing talking points of the right-wing network.
In articles on Judge Vaughn Walker's decision to overturn the gay marriage ban in California, FoxNews.com and The Washington Times did not note that Walker was nominated as a federal judge by Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush. But in reports on Judge Susan Bolton's decision to block portions of the Arizona immigration law, both outlets noted that President Clinton nominated Bolton.
FoxNews.com whitewashed Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's record on transparency and racial profiling by uncritically reporting his lawyer's statements that there isn't "evidence" of racial profiling and that Arpaio's office is "transparent." In fact, a federal judge sanctioned Arpaio's office in February "for destroying evidence in a racial-profiling case."
In a July 28 FoxNews.com article, Stephen Clark tries to stir controversy over Loyola University's decision not to host Fox News contributor Karl Rove because "welcoming a 'political' speaker ahead of the midterm elections could threaten its tax-exempt status." Clark suggests that the school is guilty of hypocrisy because it will host "an Obama administration appointee," and defends Rove by claiming he "is not working on any campaign this season."
Fox News' description of Rove is incredibly dishonest. Rove helped organize American Crossroads, a fundraising group that was started with the purpose of helping GOP campaigns during the 2010 election cycle. The group has raised millions of dollars from wealthy donors and has already run anti-Democrat attack ads. The Politico wrote that groups like Rove's give "Republicans and their allies a powerful campaign apparatus separate from the Republican National Committee."
Rove is also a regular fundraiser for GOP organizations and candidates; regularly endorses Republican candidates; and has been offering campaign advice to Republicans, such as the House Republican Conference and Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul.
Fox News, of course, didn't tell you any of this while claiming that its employee is "not working on any campaign this season."
After trumpeting GOP activist J. Christian Adams' fabricated New Black Panthers Party story, Fox News is now reporting his false claim the Department of Justice is "ignoring" a military voting law by allegedly "encourag[ing]" states to use waivers to bypass the law. In fact, the waiver process is built into the law, and Adams offered no specific evidence to support his claim that DOJ is "encourag[ing]" states to use those waivers.
Yesterday, the noise machine's nonsense scandal du jour was that the Obama administration supposedly "supported" the release of the Lockerbie bomber. Fox News' Dana Perino, FoxNews.com, Drudge, and several conservative bloggers hyped the story, with the always-unhinged Pam Geller going so far as to call for a "special investigation" and a "charge of treason." Rush Limbaugh claimed that Obama "backed the release," because he "wanted to make nice with the Muslim world." As we pointed out at the time, reports indicated that the administration opposed the release of the Lockerbie bomber on compassionate grounds, but stipulated that if he were to be released, he should go to Scotland, and not to Libya.
Predictably, the story has continued to disintegrate. Yesterday, The State Department released its correspondence with the Scottish Ministry of Justice, which states in no uncertain terms that the administration "is not prepared to support Megrahi's release on compassionate release or bail," and that "it would be most appropriate for Megrahi to remain imprisoned for the entirety of his sentence."
Responding to the release of the letter in a post headlined "Two Cheers For The Administration On Megrahi," PowerLine's John Hinderaker states that this story is a "non-controversy in which the State Department and the Obama administration acted honorably and appropriately."
Despite the letter from the State Department clearly demolishing this non-scandal, some conservative bloggers just won't give up the ghost. Undeterred (as usual) by reality, Jim Hoft responded to the letter by announcing in a headline that the administration "Preferred [Lockerbie Bomber's] Release." This serves as more evidence that Hoft either does not bother to read the things he links to, or that his deranged hatred of the administration is such that it leads him state with a straight face that up is down.
Even more embarrassing than Hoft's post was this inane screed by RedState's Lori Ziganto about how Obama "can't seem to man up." This was posted after the release of the letter, yet completely ignored its existence:
The right-wing media are distorting a U.K. Sunday Times article to claim that the "White House backed [the] release of [the] Lockerbie bomber," Abdel Baset al-Megrahi. In fact, the Sunday Times article right-wing media figures are citing makes clear that "the United States wanted Megrahi to remain imprisoned in view of the nature of the crime."
Conservative media outlets have launched another bogus smear on Shirley Sherrod, attacking her participation in a lawsuit charging the U.S. Department of Agriculture with discrimination against African American farmers. In fact, congressional Republicans and a federal judge agree that the USDA discriminated against African American farmers.

After 27 years of service to TUSDM, Maria Gove Tringale, Senior Director of Development and Alumni Relations, left Tufts on July 10 to accept a new position as Vice President for Individual and Corporate Giving at United Way of Massachusetts Bay.
Helping Hands
Who were these teenagers? Alexandra Bassett, D14, first noticed them on the postgraduate floor at One Kneeland, where they were quietly lending a hand with suction or passing along instruments during procedures. She knew they were dental assisting students who showed up regularly but without much fanfare. Curious, and not particularly shy, Bassett struck up more »

Practice Makes Perfect
On July 1, TUSDM embarked on a new pilot – though Assistant Professor Dr. Ruby Ghaffari would prefer another word.
